Meet Your Friendly Dental Team – Gahanna, OH
Get to Know the Friendly Faces Around Our Dental Office
Our team is what really makes our dental office special. They’re friendly, approachable, and their ultimate dream is to make our dental office similar to “Cheers.” We don’t like working in a stuffy, sterile environment as much as you don’t like coming to one. Of course, just because they’re fun doesn’t mean they aren’t a truly dedicated team of professionals. They’ll be there during your entire visit with a warm smile to make sure you have everything you need before, during, and after your appointment.
Abbey
Business Manager
Abbey is originally from Gahanna, OH, and she has been an essential member of our team for over five years. One of the things she loves most about her job is being able to help patients get the essential dental care they deserve, many of which feel like family. Another part she appreciates is the amazing team she gets to work alongside. All in all, it’s the genuine relationships she gets to build with both the staff and patients that truly makes her feel fulfilled and at home!
Whenever she isn’t at the office, Abbey is likely with her high school sweetheart husband, Stephen, and their two sons, Gavin and Brady. They also have multiple pets, including three dogs named Chewy, Mia, and Nova, and a ferret called Zippy. Together, they enjoy fishing, cooking, listening to music, watching movies, playing all types of sports, and watching her youngest child play soccer. In her free time, she enjoys arts and crafts as well as learning new things like how to weld—mainly to build her son a go-kart!
